Sophia nods and goes back to poring over documents and formulating a plan. She wants to form a new security team for our father, background checks on each and every single man that works in close contact with the family. It’s a lot.
Before we know it three hours have gone by and I’m trying to convince her to let us go out for dinner. Kat’s about to close her laptop when there’s a knock at the door.
“Come in,” she calls out.
As soon as the door opens, my eyes widen and I get to my feet.
“Hey, sweethearts.”
Dimitri Antonov is an imposing man, standing at 6 foot 2 with dark eyes and short dark hair. He’s wearing a black three-piece suit. He has always had this dangerous vibe to him. When I was younger that held some appeal, but right now, staring at him all I want to do is stay far far away from him.
But that’s ridiculous. Because despite everything, he’s a childhood friend. And he’d never hurt us. Katerina recovers first, rushing forward and throwing herself into his arms.
“Oh my God, you’re here,” she says grinning.
“Kat,” he greets offering her a nod.
His eyes fall on me and I recover as well taking a few steps forward and giving him a short hug.
“Hey, Soph,” he says in that sultry tone that used to have me swooning at his feet. “You look beautiful as always.”
“Of course I do,” I say. My eyes trail over his face and I smirk, “Wish I could say the same.”
He scoffs. “Lying to my face, Mincetti?”
“At least I’m not stabbing you in the back,” I retort. “Yet.”
He chuckles before running a hand across my cheek. “Yeah, I definitely missed you.”
We all take a seat.
“How was your trip?” Katerina asks.
He makes a disgruntled noise. “You won’t believe this, those assholes at the airport wouldn’t let me through. Held me up for twenty minute at the check in point.”
“Why?” I ask, inclining my head.
“They said I couldn’t board an international flight with weapons.”
“And what did you do?”
“Pulled out my 686 Wesson revolver and threatened to blow his brains out if he didn’t let me through,” he says on a chuckle.
Katerina’s eyes narrow while I look on unimpressed.
“I’m kidding,” Dimitri states. “I made a few calls and it was all sorted out. Why are you two looking at me like that?”
“Because threatening an innocent man in public sounds exactly like something you could do,” I say.
“Ehh, but I didn’t. He lost his job though,” he says on a shrug.
And therein lies my problem with Dimitri. He’s good looking, and all those tattoos he has are nice to look at. Plus, he’s also really good in bed. I realize that it’s hard to be in our line of work and keep our humanity but Dimitri really doesn’t give a fuck about most people. I’ve seen him kill someone for no reason and smile a minute later, going on with his day like nothing happened. He’s kind of a psychopath, willing to cut down anything and anyone in his way.
And he’s also a controlling narcissist.
“So Soph,” he starts. “I hear you were slumming it out with some guy called Legan recently.”
I stiffen, “What?”
